Contributions to the The University of Minnesota Insect Collection (coden UMSP) began in 1879 with specimens of insects and spiders from the North Shore of Lake Superior. During the last 130 years, the Collection’s holdings have grown from a regional collection of 3,000 specimens to a major national and international resource of almost 3,600,000 specimens. Research projects associated with the Collection (Phylogenetic Studies, Revisionary and Monographic Studies, Interactive Keys, Faunistic and Biodiversity Studies) have broad taxonomic and geographic scope and includes taxonomic, phylogenetic, and applied questions. The University of Minnesota Insect Collection maintains three databases (UMSP Collection Management database, UMSP Trichoptera Biota database, The Trichoptera Literature Database (TLD) and contributes to the Tree of Life web project. ...

The Marine Mammals Bibliography describes publications (books, journal articles, etc.) about marine mammals and related subjects (fisheries, food, etc.). The bibliography consists of two files of citations: Allen and Mead. The Allen file represents citations contained in Allen, J.A. 1882. Preliminary list of works and papers relating to the mammalian orders Cete and Sirenia. Bulletin of the United States Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories 6(3): 399-562.

The Mead file represents citations that concentrate on Cetacean systematics, life history and anatomy, particularly of the families Ziphiidae (beaked whales) and Delphinidae (oceanic dolphins). Together, the two sets provide a very complete bibliography of scientific work on marine mammals, extensively indexed for taxonomic levels, subjects, and geographic location. ...
